The Garden Fence - help and support in tough times

Sorry, I should have read nuatha's post more closely! I think that's what I will do, even if they only last a couple of years I will have made them myself and saved some pennies.

Remind me I have said this, it will make me do it!

We planted out the first couple of things in the polytunnel today, some basil and some peas to go up the net down the centre bed, they should give us a nice early crop and the beds are prepared for the early courgette and the cucumber ready to plant when it's a bit warmer.

Mrs veg plot...Yea I remember your daughter waiting to have her sinus op, I had mine last April and I feel real good after it , I dont remember having pain after to eat though........

Ive been pottering in the garden today , just love these sunny days and hearing all the bird song, it dont get any better than that in my eyes........

Yes I agree about the squirells they are quite a nuicance eating the birds eggs, raiding the nests etc , they are nick named , " a tree rat " and you can see why........I personally wouldnt fancy eating them but it they are culled properly , it would be no differnt to eating pidgen , and like another poster said as long as they not full of buck shot as we call it here in Suffolk........

My feet feel so much better after both the ops now I cant believe I havent got any pain when I walk , I feel as though the surgeon as given my life back , such a wonderful feeling , after suffering for 3 years .......

Sheila, enjoy your evening viewing. Lovely to hear that you're no longer in pain.

Oh dear, I haven't been paying attention and the thread has got away from me! Hope everyone has had a fruitful and restful weekend. Super busy here as it's going to be for a while yet, but we now have a fixed roof, upstairs painting all finished, electrical work done, hallway and stairs painted, living room wallpaper stripped and 1st coat of paint done. We're currently getting carpenters to quote on adapting the kitchen cupboards to fit how we need them to, how long is a piece of string?! DD has a birthday party here on Friday so I need to magically make a few rooms tidy before then.

I remember an overnight stop in Sri Lanka years ago, in a hotel by the sea. There were squirrels everywhere, considered vermin. Don't know which was worse, the squirrels or the people constantly pouncing on you to try and sell you something. I must have had TOURIST engraved on my forehead.

DD and her boyfriend were locked in a shop in Tunisia until they bought something. Funny, she's never revisited the country.

Evening all.

Have wrestled the Alpine Carrot Bed into submission and hoiked out a lot of couch grass roots, liberally garnished with horsetail and giant bellbind roots. I have also unearthed a quantity of 4 inch nails, all bent, all rusty, lots more glass and feel I could write a short essay on Common Domestic Pottery 1930-2000.:rotfl:

Oh, and the green waffle rubber carpet underlay was up there, too. I have been digging that stuff up for years and, in dark hours, entertain myself by imagining what I'd do to the person responsible for putting it there. They'd get sarcasm'd to death, at the very least, as I clasped them gently by the throat whilst screaming Whaddya think this is, a lounge or a lottie, you misbegotten fool!

Grinning at how many of us are shorties. I bagsy a taller bit of the fence, am just shy of 5' 11" in my socks, 6 ft in any footwear. It's mostly leg, which isn't an unalloyed joy when living in a world of lilliputian furniture.

Have treated myself to a pear cider to celebrate the defeat of the raised bed. And have rested with a HWB in the small of my back and soaked in a bath so hope I'll be limber enough to get out of bed tomorrow.

I go to work to recover from the exertions of the weekend, basically.

Semi retired now which is fantastic, only work three days aweek but will really. have to start being more frugal.

Hope you have all had a good week-end.
